Lifesize Yoda question

[goliath]

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody can help me here. A fellow collector in Switzerland is offering the same Yoda statue as these two that are currently on Ebay:

Ebay auction 1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/YODA-Life-Size-Replica-Attack-of-the-Clones_W0QQitemZ6626800711QQcategoryZ73558QQrdZ1QQ cmdZViewItem) / Ebay auction 2 (http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Limited-Edition-Collectors-Life-Size-Yoda-Statue_W0QQitemZ6626521236QQcategoryZ37891QQrdZ1QQ cmdZViewItem)

Since I'm not too much into Star Wars, I was wondering how much this would be worth?

And maybe somebody could tell me who the manufacturer is and where I could find more information.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[KitFisto]

I have this and paid about $300 US for it. I like the piece a lot.

[Darklord Dave]

Isn't that the Rubies one? I don't know what they're worth, but I'm holding out for Gentle Giants'.

Are you talking about GG's Clone Wars Monument or are they doing another one that I don't know about?

[sideshowpdx]

Yep, that's the Rubies version. I think I paid around $450 for mine... I dig it... But the GG version will be better.

[goliath]

Thanks to everybody for the info so far!

So do you think $ 300 would be a fair deal these days?

[Darklord Dave]

Yep, that's the one I'm talking about - but it will cost AT LEAST twice the Rubies one.

[gambit]

Correct;

it will be around 600- 700 $

However, likeness is much more better and he has a real FX lighsaber operating with bateries or adaptor.

even only for FX , I will be choosing the GG version next year.

[the Doctor]

im getting the gg yoda.ive got it ordered ages ago through my local mod-shop
its costing £480 all in.not to bad to get it in the UK.his light saber might be made by master replicas which might explain the delay on this awesome piece :chew :emperor

[Darth Loki]

I have seen that before. I forgot all about it. Looks pretty damn good too.

[anakin1138]

I WANT YODA;):chew
This lifesize statue is really what I'm looking for in the next months... It is due to ship in October and I'm crazy for it since the first time I've seen the San Diego CC Pic last year!!!

[Darth Loki]

Are there any specs on this like size and weight or how much this will actually cost because I'm very interested but need a little more info on it.

How do you know it is due to ship in October?
I have e-mailed then 4 times regarding this piece but to no avail!
I am rathered annoyed! I am willing to drop $900 on this damn thing...I would expect some info on it! Especially since they already took preorders for some of them last summer!

[King Darkness]

The GG version is MUCH better IMO....are they sold out or are they still takeing orders for them??

[the Doctor]

word was it was 800-900 dollars including shipping in us.
my uk mod shop man thinks its arriving very soon
and i had to put down payment to be sure of 1.
its supposed to be made of fibreglass with silicon skin over the top
like cinemarkette did with terminator 1/3 scale arny.:google

[Darth Loki]

I would've thought we would've heard more about it if it were coming out in less than 6 months. Does anyone know the ES on it?

[the Doctor]

edition size is 2500:google

[Darth Loki]

Is this info that was at SDCC last year or another show because I can find nothing about on the web.

[the Doctor]

check www.amerang-group.com
they have 1:1 yoda on page 2 on sw licenced product page
no shipping time though.:rolleyes:
product code is gg7905

[Sir Tristram]

What the hell? What kind of website is that?
I find it odd that no other online shops that strictly deal in Star Wars and GG piece has any information on this...and GG won't even return e-mail questions on this piece, yet this site has it listed with the edition size.
That edition size sounds a bit high....Isn't the GG Yoda Monument only limited to 500?

[Darth Loki]

I agree, 2500 sounds way too high of an ES for something like this. I'm hoping it is because it'll keep the cost down in the seconday market but I need some more info on this thing. I may have to cancel some items in order to help pay for this impressive piece (sorry Hulk vs Spiderman and Wolvie).

[Darth Loki]

I almost forgot this. Does anyone here have the Slurpee cups that 7-11 did for ROTS? This GG statue is the same pose used on the cup that has the Yoda. I have all 4 in my office and noticed it yesterday as I was leaving.

[KitFisto]

I don't have Slurpee cups, but I do have the original Burger King glasses from all 3 OT movies. 4 glasses a set for a total of 12. All still bright in color too. I need to find a place to display these as they are up in a cabinet in my kitchen doing nothing!

Hello - My name is Jason and I collect stuff.

[Darth Loki]

Hello Jason.

You are not alone in your addiction. Be strong, stay off eBay.

Hello Jason.

I have a few items on my "watch" list as I type this. :google

Seriously, I used to be in a TON of debt, but refinanced my town house to pay two other cards off and canceled them so I just use one card now and will NEVER make the mistake or charging up mulitple cards again.

[Darth Loki]

I only have two CC's right now an am thinking of ditching one of them but it is nice to have options. I would never allow myself to get into debt like that, barring any unfortunate circumstances of course.

[gambit]

I may have to cancel some items in order to help pay for this impressive piece (sorry Hulk vs Spiderman and Wolvie).

I agree with Wolvie because there are at least 20 different versions of him out there but taking into account that Hulk vs spider will be low in ES, and UYoda is 2500 :google , I wouldn't cancel VS diaroma.

Yoda can be bought at any time and at a lower price than RTP. On the contrary VS piece will increase imo

[Darth Loki]

Like I said, I need more information first. But the first thing to get cancelled would be Wolvie. The VS diorama will hopefully have shipped by the time I hear more about this.

[the Doctor]

dont cancel hulk vs.that is 1 classic bit of sculpt.
i ordered gg yoda as soon as i heard,forget when but it seems a long time ago
down my mod shop.had to put money down.im sorry i cant tell where to order 1 now if you wanted 1,but please dont cancel hulk vs spidey.that would be a
big mistake loki:google

[Darth Loki]

I don't think you have to worry too much about it. It'll look great next to my Exc. Sentinel.

[the Doctor]

right on bro,wheres wolvey vs saber.you need that-awesome setup:banana

[Darth Loki]

That one doesn't seem to be holding it's value so I may wait to see if I can pick it up really cheap later on.

[the Doctor]

dont leave it to long.alot of people,me included rate very highly
also with seninal vs and greeny vs spider people will eventually go back for a complete set.:lecture

[Darth Loki]

Right now the problem is space. I have a good place for the X-men and Hulk vs. Spidey but a third one becomes a little more difficult to display.

[the Doctor]

know what your talking about.im half boxed up and more coming
oh oh:google
